Description
In a nutshell:
Elegantly refined, this Reserva is all about dark cherry, plum, a touch of spice, and a hint of cocoa - beautifully balanced with silky tannins and plenty of charm.
The lowdown:
Roda's Reserva is a good example of their modern Rioja style, where vibrant fruit takes the lead and oak plays a more subtle supporting role. Made from old, low-yielding bush vines, the fruit has lovely richness and depth. It spends 16 months in French oak (half of it new) followed by 20 months in bottle, creating something polished yet understated. The colour is an almost Burgundian red, with aromas of red cherry and a gentle hint of spice. On the palate, it's smooth and fresh, with ripe cherry flavours, elegant spices, and tannins that feel beautifully balanced..
The Producer:
Founded in 1987 by Mario Rotllant and Carmen Daurella, Bodegas Roda is part of the new generation of Rioja producers reshaping the region's wine styles. Moving away from traditional oak-influenced wines, their focus is on crafting deep, complex wines that appeal to modern tastes. They take a meticulous approach to both viticulture and winemaking, which shines through in their reliably expressive and refined wines. Bodegas Roda has carved out a niche for itself with wines that balance tradition and innovation, offering a fresh perspective on what Rioja can be.
When to drink:
Roast pheasant or venison would be a great match - the silky tannins, bright cherry, and gentle spice work beautifully with rich game. Its complex, elegant, and drinking brilliantly now.
